On 10 Dec. 2007 dies of a stroke Augusto Pinochet,
Dictator of the military regime in Chile between 1973 and 1990.
In this period there were 30.000 extrajudicial executions,
1.000 people disappeared and there were 35.000 cases of torture.
After the death got generally known the people
entered the streets to celebrate.
That is the rally of a nation, take a look around!
The rally of the oppressed. We are an oppressed country.
In La Victoria...
You are dead and I have survived, you pig!
This is an important moment to remember
that justice has not been redressed.
A great joy! But many have not been punished as
they deserve it and as we all hope.
Yet it is a great joy that we all have been waiting for.
The people from La Victoria...
City centre of Santiago.
I wanted to thank him because he let my mother-in-law
dissappear.
With Augusto we had work, money, education...
The only thing missing were the people - all disappeared.
The ghost of the dictator - still alive.
The fight for human rights does not end with Pinochets death.
